Background
Fossil resources such as coal and petroleum are always main sources of fuels and chemical raw materials, however, with the increasing exhaustion of traditional resources and the increasingly prominent environmental problems, the search for green, environment-friendly and sustainable substitutes for fossil resources becomes particularly urgent. Biomass refers to any organic substance that can grow through photosynthesis using the atmosphere, water, land, and the like. In a narrow sense, biomass comprises straws, trees, wastes of agricultural processing and the like except grains, fruits and seeds, and is a green and widely distributed renewable resource.
The wood chip is an important biomass resource, widely exists in the plant world, and is also one of important industrial wastes in the industries of agriculture, building, paper making and the like. The main components of the wood chip are cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, wherein the cellulose is polysaccharide formed by connecting glucose through 1, 4-beta-glycosidic bonds, the hemicellulose is a heteromultimer formed by connecting different types of monosaccharides such as xylose, the lignin is a three-dimensional network polymer formed by connecting three aromatic precursors taking phenyl propane as structural elements through C-C bonds and C-O-C bonds, and the lignin is the only natural aromatic high molecule which exists in large quantity in the nature. Through degradation and conversion, the wood chips can be used for producing fuels and organic industrial raw materials, and are a potential petroleum substitute. Under the oxidizing atmosphere, the wood chips can be degraded into aldehyde, ketone, quinone, acid, ester and other compounds with high added value and polyfunctional groups, so that high-value utilization of the wood chips is realized. Therefore, the new biomass material and product based on the wood chips are vigorously developed, so that the dependence of China on fossil resources is relieved, the national resource and energy safety is guaranteed, and the pollution of the developed fossil resources to the environment is relieved.
The key point of wood chip oxidative degradation lies in the oxidative degradation of lignin, but due to the complex chemical composition and good chemical stability of lignin, the degradation cost is high, so that the efficient conversion and utilization of the lignin face huge challenges. At present, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and the like are commonly used as oxidants to degrade wood chips, and catalysts are usually added to accelerate the reaction rate and control the reaction process. Common catalysts mainly include enzymes represented by laccase and the like, biomimetic catalysts represented by porphyrin and the like, metal organic catalysts represented by methyltrioxorhenium, Co (Salen) and the like, mesoporous catalysts represented by molecular sieves and polyoxometallate catalysts represented by Keggin type polyoxometallate. Among many catalysts, the polyoxometallate catalyst is favored in degrading wood chips due to its variable and adjustable structure, good stability, reversible redox, and high catalytic efficiency and selectivity.
For example, chinese patent CN106755011A discloses a method for catalyzing hydrolysis of lignocellulose with polyoxometallate, which uses Keggin type polyoxometallate containing different heteroatoms as a catalyst or a composite catalyst to catalyze hydrogenation of lignocellulose for hydrolysis and prepare monosaccharide therefrom, wherein the reaction conditions are mild, but the post-treatment is relatively complex, and the recycling effect of the method needs to be improved. The invention patent CN107098803A discloses a method for separating, purifying and degrading lignin, which prepares lignin with high purity and complete structure through multiple times of crushing and enzymolysis, and efficiently degrades the lignin by a Keggin type polyoxometallate-Raney nickel series catalyst to obtain an aromatic platform compound. However, polyoxometallate catalysts for catalytically oxidizing and degrading wood chips are all concentrated in a Keggin structure and a water system, so that the reaction selectivity is low, the catalyst is difficult to separate, and the catalytic degradation efficiency of lignin in the wood chips is further improved. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new catalytic oxidative degradation wood chip system.
